' From the many expressions of disgust which have come from local fans over this -situation we. have gathered the opinion that one way the director of the Bugs could be sure of a good horse laugh would be to come to Mount Olive some tune in the future and ask for sup port of the team, as they have in the past ' Id -i-i'i'''?
